Chapter 332 Preparing to Form a Heavy Armored Combined Brigade
On April 4, spring is in the air.
Li Yunlong was half lying on the kang in the command center, sitting around a table with Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan and others. The table was filled with wine and peanuts.
Since the end of the battle of Majiapo, the independent column entered a stage of recuperation.
The First Army in the Shanxi region also began to shrink its defensive front. A delicate balance was maintained between the two sides, as if each was waiting for the other to break the silence first.
Everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm. Once the First Army recovers, it will surely launch a more fierce attack on the Independent Column again.
All forces are using this period of time to consolidate the occupied territories in order to prepare for the upcoming war.
Li Yunlong was drinking wine and throwing peanuts into his mouth. Zhang Dabiao beside him complained boredly: "Brigade Commander, when will this day end? I feel like I'm getting rusty just by living like this every day."
Li Yunlong stared at Zhang Dabiao with eyes wide open, and said jokingly: "Zhang Dabiao, you are now a regiment commander after all, why are you so ignorant?
There are no wars every day. The ceasefire has only been in place for less than a week, and you can't stand it anymore? What will you do if we win the war in the future?
Do you really want to fight a war for the rest of your life?
You finally have this leisure time, go out and take a look at any young girls who are still unmarried. I will personally go to their homes to act as a matchmaker for you."
Zhang Dabiao muttered after hearing this: "Brigade Commander, you are already an adult, and you still have the nerve to say that I won't find a wife."
"Oh my god, Zhang Dabiao, I think you deserve to be punished now."
Li Yunlong immediately sat up straight, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to hit Zhang Dabiao.
Seeing this, Shen Quan quickly interrupted and said, "Brigade Commander, Da Biao is so idle, shouldn't we find something to do so that the brothers won't get sick from being idle?"
"Zhang Dabiao, I'm going to let you go this time, but if I hear you blabbering again next time, I'm going to teach you a lesson."
Li Yunlong put down his sleeves, pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Shen Quan is right, we can't just sit there and wait.
How about this, starting tomorrow, we will organize a practical exercise to let the brothers stretch their muscles.
At the same time, we must also strengthen intelligence gathering. If there is any movement in the First Army, we must be the first to know. "
When Zhang Dabiao heard about the actual combat drill, his eyes immediately lit up: "Okay, Brigade Commander, this is a good idea. We can't let our brothers sit idle."
Suddenly, the phone rang in the room.
Li Yunlong walked to the phone, picked up the phone and said, "This is the Independent Brigade Headquarters. May I ask who you are?"
"Li Yunlong, this is Gaoda. I'm ordering you to come to Lijiazhuang immediately." Gaoda's voice came from the microphone.
When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Commander, I'll be there right away."
After Li Yunlong quickly hung up the phone, he turned around and saw Zhang Dabiao and others looking at him expectantly.
"Brigade Commander, is there something important that is causing the commander to look for you so urgently?" Zhang Dabiao asked anxiously.
“I don’t know what it is?
I have to go to Lijiazhuang right now. You guys wait for my good news at home. It should be important news."
After saying that, Li Yunlong picked up the hat on the table, put it on, and strode out of the command center.
Inside the command center, Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan and others looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew that Li Yunlong's trip might be related to the future of the independent brigade.
.........
after an hour.
Li Yunlong and his guards rode on horseback through the fields and hills and quickly arrived at the Lijiazhuang Command Post.
As soon as he got off the horse, Li Yunlong quickly walked into the yard.
He walked quickly into the headquarters while shouting, "Commander, I'm here, Old Li. You called me here so urgently, do you have a new mission?"
Gaoda turned around and saw Li Yunlong coming in, and put down the pen in his hand.
"Lao Li, I asked you to come here today because I have something important to announce."
After hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately looked at Gaoda with expectant eyes: "Commander, if you have any good news, tell me quickly."
Gaoda cleared his throat and said, "Li Yunlong, the independent column is going to establish a heavy-armored combined brigade. After repeated consideration, I decided to upgrade the independent brigade to a heavy-armored combined brigade."
Li Yunlong was confused when he heard what Gaoda said. He scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Commander, what is a heavy armored combined brigade? I have never heard of such a brigade."
Gaoda began to explain to Li Yunlong, "The heavy-armored combined brigade is a multifunctional strategic rapid force that integrates multiple arms. The entire force will use mechanized marching to speed up the march.
By then, the heavy combined arms brigade will have a heavy artillery battalion, a tank battalion, a communications battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, a mechanized infantry battalion, a joint communications battalion, an air defense battalion, an engineering battalion, and so on. "
He paused and continued, "The combat capability of the heavy-armored combined brigade is capable of carrying out large-scale battles on its own, and can also quickly support other battlefields. It will become the real trump card of the independent column."
After listening to Gaoda's narration, Li Yunlong's eyes almost sparkled with fire, and he was so excited that he could hardly control himself.
He seemed to have seen the scene of the independent brigade equipped with advanced weapons and becoming invincible on the battlefield.
He couldn't help but imagine how powerful the independent brigade would be if they really had such equipment. It was no exaggeration to say that he would dare to lead his troops to attack Peking.
"Commander, hurry up, I can't wait.
The independent brigade guarantees to fully cooperate with the reorganization operation." Li Yunlong said excitedly.
Gaoda nodded and said, "Li Yunlong, when you go back, make a detailed count of the personnel of the independent brigade so as to formulate a reorganization plan."
Li Yunlong stood up straight immediately. "Yes, Commander. I will go back and ask people to start collecting statistics. Tomorrow, no, tonight, I will report the relevant statistics to the headquarters."
Gaoda nodded with satisfaction. He knew that Li Yunlong was a man of action. Once he made a decision, he would go all out. "Well, then go back and make preparations!"
After Li Yunlong stood still and saluted, he turned around and quickly left the command center. His steps were even more rapid than when he came.
He led his guards on horseback and quickly returned to the independent brigade’s base.
